Swap Due Date - December 31, 2018
Signup date - December 15, 2018
Number of Cards - 4 for 4 (One group) or 8:8 (Both groups)
Number of participants - Unlimited
Media - open, must be attached to a 2½ x 3½ playing card and the top left number/suit must be showing
(no bulky embellishments please!)

This will be a 4:4 swap - that is, you will send in a full set of four Ks (Ks of ♥, ♦, ♣, ♠) Postage Stamp theme and/or Bird theme and get a full set of Ks in return. I will run through the full deck - Qs will be posted next month etc...

Postage Stamps - Theme is open as long as there is at least one real postage stamp somewhere on the card.

Birds - Theme is birds, at least one bird must be present somewhere predominantly on the card.

You may join one or both groups, sending a full set of appropriately-themed Ks for each group you join.

Please note:
- Real playing cards must be used.
- APCs must be the standard size of 2.5" x 3.5". Note this is POKER size, not bridge size! (Wrongly sized cards will be returned).
- Cards must have one of each suit (incorrect cards will be returned. It makes swapping very difficult.)
- The top left suit and number must be visible/uncovered.
- Flat embellishments only please.
- Please include username and origin (state and/or country) on a small piece of paper attached the back of all APCs.
- Originals only - no copies or prints. (Cards can be duplicates as long as they're still individually created and we have more than 5 people in your group)
- Please only send work you are proud of.
- Late cards will be returned unswapped.
- No communication and no cards may result in a neutral iTrader.

ready to mail??
I'm still in Dix, IL if you have my address from a previous swap. :wubclub: but please let me know you've mailed (either via pm or thread post)

- Please include username and swap name on the outside of your envelope.

US players: send me a mailing label (not a tiny return addy label) or a piece of paper with your addy clearly written on it (that I can tape to the envelope) and a forever stamp (49¢ stamp) if you're doing both groups you need to send another forever stamp (8 cards adds an extra ounce and a non-machinable surcharge) NO SASEs PLEASE!

International players: send me a mailing label and $1 USD for one group (or $2 for both groups) or one (or two if two groups) international forever stamp. If you do not have that. Please send me however much it took for you to mail in your own country's postage or currency (no coins please, it will bulk up the envelope).

**If you want to send future sets that is fine as long as you provide separate postage/address labels for each number.

please feel free to post pictures of your cards when you are finished for inspiration for the rest of us!

I have been working on getting both decks finished early - I have the postage stamp set all planned out and nearly finished and am half way through the bird set.
I guess that means please sign me up to both groups.

My cards will be in the mail on Monday.
What theme could I choose for the postage stamps but Kings?
 
Another of the mini Crazy birds for this set all wearing a crown. The white in these crowns had to be pieced back into the stickers so that the crowns showed against the Kings on the cards.
 
i typed up a welcome last nite to Suzi and AngelJoy... must have forgotten to hit the post button again. *facepalm* LOL

welcome to Donnacr too, awesome sets!
 
Lurking for now!
I've never done an APC swap before, but I bought a ton of vintage playing cards at a thrift store yesterday and I'm itching to try this. Just want to see what I come up with before I sign up! :)

(just be careful, some won't be ATC sized, they'll only be, like, 2 1/4" wide or something if I remember correctly)

hope you decide to join us! :)
